This creamy non-dairy cheese is redolent with garlic and herbs. You can experiment with using different dried herbs or fresh herbs or using more or less salt. For people who avoid dairy products for various reasons, this cheese will satisfy your cravings for a Boursin-type spread. Pile it on crackers, use it as a sandwich filling, plop a hunk of it on top of vegetables or salad, or let it melt down on a bowl of pasta. Tofu is a great source of protein and calcium.

You can order lactic acid powder online, and it will certainly be worthwhile if you plan to make more of the cheese recipes you’ll see here soon.

7. Chill thoroughly and use the plastic wrap to help unmold the cheese.
